Montessori believed in the wonders of Nature; she encouraged outdoor experiences and the connection of the outdoors to the classroom environment. The growing disconnect of children to the natural world is having profound effects on children’s health as well as their social and emotional growth. This presentation will both inspire you and help you reconnect your children and yourself to the importance, and the use of your outdoor environment within your daily activity. From Play and Nature experiences, to exploration and physical movement, it is imperative we reignite Nature within our children and ourselves.
